This is my first post, and I don't have a lot of time so I'll keep it short, but I think this could be a great board. So far, it's a little lonely, but that's to be expected in an often overlooked but potentially lucrative area, if you believe Joel Greenblatt, that is.

I am working on reading "You Can Be a Stock Market Genius" for the third time, but I can't get past the third chapter in terms of my own investment research. Yes, it takes that long for things to sink into my wee little brain.

I noticed a few spinoffs have been discussed on the value investing board (still trying to catch up by reading through it, so I am sure there are more).

I'll post some of the current and future spinoffs I am watching along with some relatively simplistic analyses (I hope to post more detailed analyses once I get smarter, hopefully over the next year or two) in the near future.
